SpacEver 10x12 FT 16 mil waterproof tarp 🏕️
Description:
This heavy-duty SpacEver tarp of 10x12 feet offers a robust protective cover for outdoor gear, vehicles, and construction materials while resisting water and dust for extended use. With a 16 mil thickness and reinforced edges, it performs well in rainy weather and can double as a groundsheet or temporary shelter for camping and boat protection.
Key Points
The tarp features heat-sealed, folded edges with internal nylon cord reinforcement to reduce tearing and edge failure. Metal grommets are positioned around the perimeter to allow secure anchoring with ropes or bungee cords. Its reversible design gives you two usable surfaces and helps extend the service life by alternating exposure. According to the manufacturer, the material is UV resistant, which helps slow sun-related degradation during prolonged outdoor use.
The weave and coating are designed to block dust and moisture, making the cover suitable for protecting stored equipment and construction supplies. It can also act as a temporary ground covering at campsites or as a weather shield for boats and cars when shelter options are limited.

Usage Recommendations
For tying down the tarp, thread rope through the grommets and secure to fixed anchor points, trees, or stakes. When used as a groundsheet, place the tarp with the smoother side down to limit abrasion from soil and rocks. If you need a makeshift lean-to, fold part of the tarp to create a tarp roof and secure the higher side to a pole or line, leaving ventilation below.
Take care to avoid prolonged contact with sharp branches or metal edges, as punctures reduce waterproof performance. Cleaning is simple, a wipe with a damp cloth or mild soap and water removes most dirt. Allow the tarp to dry fully before folding for storage to prevent mildew formation.
Advantages
The tarp balances durability and portability, offering relatively heavy 16 mil material without becoming excessively bulky to carry. Its reversible surfaces and reinforced edges increase longevity, and the integrated grommets make installation straightforward. For light outdoor tasks or as a temporary cover on work sites, this tarp provides a practical solution with predictable behavior under wet and dusty conditions.
Consider that while the tarp is robust against water and tearing, constant exposure to extreme sunlight over many seasons may still degrade polymers over time. Also, very high wind conditions can stress anchored points, so reinforce tie-downs when necessary to reduce movement and wear.
